Get care and report accurately
Seek appropriate treatment and describe how the incident occurred. Report the event without surrendering the product or agreeing to destructive inspection.
Los Angeles Product Liability Lawyer
Product cases can depend on the exact unit, model, instructions, warnings, maintenance history, prior incidents, and whether the product changed after sale. Mayberry Law preserves the product and develops engineering, medical, and distribution evidence before testing or disposal alters it.
The Product Itself May Be the Most Important Evidence
A sound investigation protects the product, packaging, manuals, receipts, photographs, digital data, and chain of custody while identifying manufacturers, component suppliers, distributors, sellers, and service providers.

What to Do After a Product-Related Injury
Get medical care first. Then preserve the product and its history without returning, repairing, disassembling, testing, or discarding anything that may explain the failure.
Review California product-liability jury instructionsSecure the complete product
Preserve the unit, broken pieces, packaging, instructions, warnings, receipts, accessories, chargers, software, and any material involved in the incident.
Do not alter or test it
Avoid repair, disassembly, operation, cleaning, return, or disposal before legal and expert review. Keep a documented chain of custody.
Record identifying history
Photograph model, serial, batch, purchase, seller, maintenance, modifications, warnings, and recall information. Preserve manuals and communications.
Collect incident evidence
Keep photographs, video, witness information, property damage, medical records, and communications with retailers, manufacturers, insurers, or investigators.
Product Cases Require a Technical and Legal Investigation
The defect theory may involve manufacture, design, warnings, or negligence. The defense may point to misuse, alteration, maintenance, another product, or a different medical cause.
The theory must match the evidence
Manufacturing, design, and warning claims ask different questions. The product, exemplar units, specifications, testing, warnings, and expert analysis help identify the appropriate theory.
The distribution chain matters
Manufacturers, component suppliers, distributors, sellers, importers, and service providers may have different roles and information.
Misuse and alteration require a precise response
The product's expected use, foreseeable handling, maintenance, modifications, warnings, and actual failure sequence should be documented rather than assumed.
Testing must protect the evidence
Destructive testing, downloads, disassembly, and inspection protocols should be coordinated so the product's condition and chain of custody remain defensible.
Documenting a Product Injury and Its Consequences
A well-supported claim connects the defect and failure sequence to medical care, work consequences, property loss, future needs, and changes in daily life.
Medical and future care
Emergency treatment, specialists, surgery, medication, therapy, rehabilitation, scarring care, and supported future treatment may be relevant.
Income and earning effects
Missed wages, reduced capacity, changed work, and lost advancement require medical and employment support.
Property and replacement costs
Damaged property, cleanup, replacement, transportation, accessibility, and other documented expenses may form part of the loss.
Pain, scarring, and disability
Evidence may address pain, emotional distress, burns, disfigurement, disability, lost activities, and reduced independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of product defects can support a claim?+
California product-liability instructions address theories including manufacturing defect, design defect, and failure to warn. The correct theory depends on the product and evidence. See the Judicial Council's California Civil Jury Instructions materials.
Does the product need to be recalled?+
No recall is required to investigate a potential defect. Recall evidence can be relevant, but the product-specific design, manufacture, warnings, use, failure, and causation still require proof.
What if the product was modified or used incorrectly?+
Misuse, alteration, maintenance, and foreseeability may be disputed. Preserve the product and its history so the actual use and failure sequence can be evaluated.
How long do I have to act?+
Many California personal-injury actions have a general two-year deadline, but discovery, medical-product issues, public entities, and other facts can change the analysis. See the California Courts deadline guide.
